Thankfully im a bit more clued up on the Offside Rule since i passed my referee course

the wording of it says "nearer to his opponents goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent"

obviously generally the goalkeeper is there so its seen to be just the last defender, however if you have a roaming goalkeeper....

superb call from the assistant, definetly a decision that will have folk talking for all the right reasons

It was, strangely, Jack Charlton who first gave voice to the thought, claiming after the 1994 World Cup that the most important attacking player on the team was the full-back. At first, it sounds preposterous, until you consider that every World Cup since has been won by the team with the best pair of attacking full-backs: Jorginho and Branco for Brazil in 1994; Lilian Thuram and Bixente Lizarazu for France in 1998; Cafu and Roberto Carlos for Brazil in 2002; and Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Grosso for Italy three years ago.
